The "Save £12k in 2023" Thread!

MrFrugalFever

#32 reporting in for 2023 year end. I have just scraped through on £12k which will go towards my deposit for property purchase.

Due to property purchase and a few sizeable commitments in 2024/2025 I would like to alter my target for 2024 to a smaller £5,000. 

Thanks,

Hi @MrFrugalFever. Not sure if you know the latest but enthusiasticsaver and I have picked up from simplyfading, except that neither of us can see any of the forms submitted - so basically, none of your updates are in the spreadsheet for the year. If you want to post them here, we can enter them to the spreadsheet. We have started a Save £12k in 2024 for your target for next year on a new thread (and numbers don't normally get carried forward)

#7 reporting -£326 for December.

Minus figure because it covered the final payments for our wedding. Will hopefully mean I can get off to a good start in 2024!

Hi,

Can you please put me down for -£1,429 for December. Not the best end to the year but it is what it is.

My final update of 2023 - saved £324.29 in December, making a total for the year of £7,940.55.

Short of my £12k target because I got away from myself a bit with holidays and shopping.

Well done to all who took part, and thanks to simplyfading, enthusiasticsaver and Suffolklass for looking after us.

See you in 2024!

@gd55 we have a slight mis-match on final figures if you want to check out the spreadsheet (link is 4 posts above this one) and make a correction.
